and I must say, it's a load of bullshit. It's worse than the presidential elections!

And although I love "Dreamgirls" to death, I don't think it's strong enough of a film to compete in the race. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't nominated. I sort of wish Paramount would knock it off with the massive Oscar promotions, because they're going to make themselves, the movie, and everyone else look very, very bad if "Dreamgirls" isn't nominated for Best Picture.
